Akron School Employee Placed on Leave

An employee of the Garfield Community Learning Center in Akron Public Schools has been placed on administrative leave due to an 'inappropriate' social media video that surfaced over the weekend. The video, reportedly showing the employee dancing in a sexually suggestive manner with a young woman or girl, has raised concerns, though the district has not confirmed her identity or age. Akron Public Schools stated its commitment to the safety and well-being of all students and staff, and they are cooperating with ongoing investigations by the local police, who have not yet filed any charges. District officials emphasized that they take such matters seriously and are dedicated to maintaining a secure environment. Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a recently hired employee at Atherton Hough Elementary School in Massachusetts was placed on leave amid an active cybercrime investigation, though no direct threats to students were reported.
